the phantom returns (private)

He stands there looming over her like a shadow, "We can both agree on that."
He is silent as he stares at her, thinking to himself, 'how can i harm this girl? She loves the theater and wants change just as i do...now what?'

"I..I am sorry that i have interrupted your performance," He bows to her, "I now see that you are on my side, and WILL help me." He commanded her, he needed her help, and couldn't just ask, he needed reassurance.

[julia]

"That's alright. My stomach was turning within my abdomen, and I was nearly flunking the part." she admitted then looked at him and nodded, agreeing. "I have always been on your side. Even if you were just a story, this is your theater," she told him, looking at him with a strong look in her eyes.

"Let's make a plan..." ​she suggested, smirking a bit.

[dudeinbortie]

He gave her a series look, "I have blood on my hands, for many people, but you, ar innocent, i do not wish to make a you murderer." He put a hand on her shoulder, "You will simply deliver messages for me, noting more, if things get out of hand again...." He turned to hide his face.

'What are you doing!?!?' He yelled in his head

[julia]

"I never said that anyone needed to be killed. But sabotage? That is a whole other story, my dear Phantom!" she told him and then frowned as he turned from her. "But... I will not step out of line." she told him and wrung her hands together, getting nervous.

"Where do I go from here...?" she asked, sounding a little more innocent now.

[dudeinbortie]

He thought, "you will stay here for a day, its a small warning, but a warning never the less." He bigins walking tword what sounds like running water, "come, there is much to do..."

[julia]

Colette nodded and followed, humming a tune from one of her favorite musicals, then singing quietly under her breath without realizing it.

''More closely than the clinging vine
About the wedded tree,
Clasp thou thine arms, ah, mistress mine!
About the heart of me.
Or seem to sleep, and stoop your face
Soft on my sleeping eyes,
Breathe in your life, your heart, your grace,
Through me, in kissing wise...''

HE brought her to a lake under the opera house, there was a boat and hat looked like a small cave on the other side of the lake, "You will tell no one of this place." HE got in the boat and waited for her.

[julia]

"Understood..." she told the Phantom then held her hands together. She stepped gently into the boat then swallowed hard, and looked around. Lightly, she sighed, thinking about what she could do to make the air not so tense around them. Questions? Simple conversation? She cleared her throat and looked up at the Phantom.

"Do you... write music?" she asked. "My mother told me that you wrote music, plays, operas. I was just curious to see if this was true."

[dudeinbortie]

"Yes it is true," He said rowing, "You can see them when we arrive."

There were candles set on the lake lighting the way, the phantom had always made sure they were a light, "what is your name?"

[julia]

"My name is Colette Francis. And you? You must have a name besides 'Phantom'," she asked, watching as they passed row upon row of candles in the cave. Curiously, she dipped her hand into the water that the boat gently moved across. It was cool, but refreshingly. She pulled her fingers from the water and wiped them on her Ophelia costume.
